On Saturday, l4th inst, we visited the
CcHRoNIcLE office for the first time since the
spring OF 1877. During our short stay memo
ry was busy bringing up the SCIENCES and tolls
of the twenty years spent within the walls OF
the same building which has been the home
of the CHRONICLE for nearly thirty-two years.
In the ten years OF absence we noticed great
changes, but were gratified to find SO many
decided improvements in the "Aart preser-
vative." That Office Is now quite equal to any
in modern facilities and improvements, and
we sincerity desire to see II and its competi.
tors In the city attain the greatest perfection
in the art of printing and consequent useful
ness, and receive ample and satisfactory re-
labors. "a
We desire to return thanks to our friend, f.
M. Duffy, the genial, versatile editor, and TO
the proprietor for courtesies extend-also to
Mr.. Creighton, in charge of the bindery, whose
work is equal to any to be found in the larg-
est cities.
Mr.. Neil Larkin left, last Saturday, for his
home in Savannah, Ga. We wish him sue
cess wherever destiny may cast his lot.

AS the force Of circumstahces took us to the
city last week, we were debarred the pleasure
of looking In on many old and familiar faces
we had not seen for years; besides our nerv-
GUS condition prevented'us from calling on but
four on our way home-these were d. Kincan-
non, r. s. Broaddus, DR.. Trawick and Sid
Moore, whom we are glad to class as true
friends. May their shadows never grow
less" 1s
The last issue OF our paper was one worthy
of preservation, containing, as 1t did, about
twenty-five columns of varied and interest.
ing matter, eighteen being original. The bio.
GRAPHICAL sketch of the late Rev. H. F. Beau
mont will be read with undated interest by
the legion Of friends who once knew and ad.
mired him for his many noble traits of char
acter.
The "Houston County Department" new
feature, will add much interest and reputa.
ton to the CHRONICLE, especially in thai
section. 1t is In charge OF w. ]. Broaddus
Esq, a gentleman fully competent. He wa,
a neighbor boy, and schoolmate way back In

sake paper that has visited and interestes
him and his household for nearly a quartz
ofa century because said paper may not ex
actly jingle with his notions on all subjects
